Dolemite, RIP

Rudy Ray Moore, the lost bridge between blue comedy and gangsta rap, is dead. Darius James called one of his movies "ghetto surrealism"; I'll call his films the most wonderfully weird products of the blaxploitation era. Rest in peace, you Avenging Disco Godfather. We will not see your likes again.

Warning: That video is NSFW. But would that have stopped Dolemite from watching it? Hell, no.
